Measuring variability.

چکیده

GENE EXPRESSION IS A NOISY STOCHASTIC PROCESS, SINCE IT INVOLVES AT ITS CORE INTERACTIONS BETWEEN SINGLE MOLECULES: a polymerase and a binding site. However, many biological processes directly dependent upon gene expression are reliable. Prominent among them is morphogenesis: how are body parts so consistently generated and proportioned? In the early embryo, gradients of certain proteins called morphogens affect the pattern of cell differentiation and embryonic development. The variability in morphogen patterns and its effect in the proportions of the embryo has been intriguing biologists for a long time, but the limitations, variability and limited reproducibility of immunostaining of fixed embryos does not allow dynamic measurements. New tools now allow precise measurement of the variability of morphogen patterning in living Drosophila embryos, making it possible to probe the underlying mechanisms of development.

Impact of Measuring Devices and Data Analysis on the Determination of Gas Membrane Properties

The time-lag method, using a gas permeation experiment, is currently the most popular method for determining the membrane properties: diffusivity coefcient and permeability coefcient, and from which the solubility coefcient can be calculated. In this investigation, the impact of systematic, random (noise), resolution and extrapolation errors associated with gas permeatio...

Analysis of Variance (ANOVA)

One of the hallmarks of statistical thinking is the importance of measuring and understanding variability. The Shewhart Control Chart, which separates special cause from common cause variation, is one of the most important tools for understanding the current state of a process. The analysis of variance (ANOVA) is another statistical tool for splitting variability into component sources. These c...

Design and Clinical Evaluation of a Non-Contact Heart Rate Variability Measuring Device

The object of the proposed paper is to design and analyze the performance of a non-contact heart rate variability (HRV) measuring device based on ultrasound transducers. The rationale behind non-contact HRV measurement is the goal of obtaining a means of long term monitoring of a patient's heart performance. Due to its complexity as a non-contact measuring device, influential physical quantitie...

Effect of practice variability on anticipatory postural control during reaching task

Introduction and purpose: Reaching movement is one of the common task for assessing learning mechanism and is daily task in human life, improvement in postural stability can influence the function of this task. In this term, the aim of current study was to compare constant (simple reaction time) and variable random practice (choice reaction time) on the improvement of anticipatory postural adju...
